I have always saved and saved any packet of Taco Bell Mild sauce to make these and still do, but today I had the Green Chile enchilada sauce left over and wanted to use it. (Plus i kinda don’t like the chile skins and seeds in the diced green chilies)

Easter was great, beautiful morning at church with the family. Pastor Henry and Dan baptized me, many people stayed to watch the baptisms. We had 9 people at the late service all being baptized it was an incredible experience.

Then I came home and before I could start dinner I took poor Echo to the vet.

She had a bordatella shot last week and it seems like she has kennel cough symptoms now 😦 Luckly the new vet I found is amazing and wonderful, they were open Easter Sunday and only charged their regular price. The vet and staff were so sweet and attentive, and they even called the next day to see how she was doing. I’m so thankful to have found them, and Exho seems to be doing much better.

After all that I finally got to making Easter dinner! I didn’t get many photos but we had:

Spiral Ham glazed in Brown sugar and Pineapple
Mac & Cheese

Gluten Free Mac & Cheese

Stuffing

Sautéed Red potatoes

After Dinner, we waited for the food coma to pass and celebrated my Sister’s and James’ Birthdays

Plus I got to see moms little dogs that I don’t get to see often anymore! That’s Noni and Cooper. I didn’t get a pic of Coco but she’s a tiny Maltese that is my dads little girl.

Yesterday I got to meet Celebrity Chef Susan Feniger. She was on Top Chef Masters, had a Food Network Show, and has multiple restaurants here in LA and all over. She was in a scene for a show I was working on. I got to speak with her about her newest restaurant Street. Which I hope to go eat at soon!
Photo is not mine, it can be found here.

Today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite lunches (or dinners) when I have a quiet day at home. It might seem a bit odd but I love ground turkey so it works for me.

Pesto Pasta with Ground Turkey

(You can always make this with grilled chicken breast instead! Which I’ve done in the past)

• Boil water for your pasta. I used bow tie but use your favorite!

• Cook pasta till al Dente and drain.

• Meanwhile brown your ground turkey.

• Season with salt,
Pepper, and garlic.

• Warm up you favorite pesto. (Usually (like today) I have some that i made in my freezer, but you can use a jar or a sauce powder packet.)

• Once your pesto is ready add some heavy cream to it. Base the amount on how you like it balanced.

• When everything is ready, I just mix it all together. (But you can always just add the pesto to the pasta and keep your meat separate!)

I don’t know why I love this so much but I do! Especially if I haven’t had pasta in a while.

Yesterday was crazy busy! I finally started my book I have been wanting to write for a year, it’s non fiction but I cannot say much more than that. My friend is working with me and wow is it an endeavor!

Today I want to share my week in pictures and (as you can see below, in some) my new addiction to Instagram. I guess I could only resist it so long…

Long Beach, ca

Writing a book is not an easy endeavor.

My office for the day.

Pole beans, come on little one please grow.

Adorable pups

The girls mad I won’t let them in the planter

Echo trying to get Starla again, caught in the act!

Starla roaming…

Hey there little buddy, where ya going?

It’s so nice getting lettuce from the garden for my girls.

Catch of the day

Cutest egg so far!

Nom nom nom

I guess I actually have two new addictions! I love this show at the moment.

Today was a nice day handling stuff at home, fertilized the veggie garden, cleaned, worked on Rusty J’s music video, and made dinner with Lindsey among other things. Lindsey’s friend Mikey even came and joined us for dinner!

For dinner we went to the hispanic market by my house and got Carne Asada, so I made Spanish Rice to go with it!
